The Past. Face to Face. (Faith)

[lockdown302]

Professor Synchro walks through the front doors and stops. Being a new teacher at a very large mutant school was bound to be overwhelming. He is excited to begin but he has no classes until later on in the day. So he goes and leans against the wall. Watching the students who's minds he would be molding. Synchro watched every face that passed, to see if there was anyone familiar. It was unprobable considering the only other place he had been with other mutants was the Weapon X program. He could not imagine what those students have gone through or are even still going through.

The students seemed virtually careless as they ran to their classes and chatted with friends. Synchro tried to remember what his childhood was like. All he sees when he tries to remember is pitch blackness. This usually discourages him but he is too excited about teaching later.

Faith was of course between her two classes, and had a few hours to waste before her training class in the Danger Room. So what did she decide to do with it? Go for a jog of course. She didn’t even bother changing her attire into a more jog friendly one. She knew she had to keep busy or she wouldn’t be a very nice person to be around. Especially when her father was absent, and he was the only one who could make her calm and teach her how to stale her emotions so she wouldn’t be so dangerous to those around her. She approached the door, and stopped in her tracks. A face she had hoped she wouldn’t see again was standing right in her path.

The face she immediately recognized as one that tested her and pushed her. Still the memory wasn’t one of her worse ones, but it was still not one of her better ones either. She began to look around her for another way out of there, and the sudden need to escape to the outside only intensified in her. She had to get out of there, and get out of there now. She turned tail and began to make her way to another exit to the outside so she can work her emotions out on her body. She only hoped that the face didn’t recognize her as well…

Professor Synchro immediately saw her when she walked in the room. "Faith....." he whispered very quietly to himself. She was, out of all the Weapon X experiments, the most powerful mutant. He wanted to speak with her. So he quickly looked around and tapped an unmistakable super speed mutant. As soon as he began to step away he was at Faith's side. He never expected for the power to be that powerful. The gap in his understanding phased into the actual power this time. He flicked away the power as to not knock out a wall the next time he moved.

Synchro placed his hand on Faith's shoulder to stop her. "Faith. I must speak with you." He had hoped that he would see Faith again to explain to her what had happened at the program.

Faith didn’t even get two steps in before a hand was on her shoulder. She didn’t want him to touch her again, and this time she grabbed his hand and effortlessly flipped him over her shoulder, making him land on the floor in front of her. Her control slipped and she paused her right fist above him, wrist straight, and extended her right set of claws. The sharp tips of which rested right at his throat, and if she were to move her hand forward two inches she would have severed his vocal cords. So he wanted to speak with her. He has nothing she wanted to hear from him.

”You have nothing to say to me, Adam. You don’t have the right. Not after what you gave them about me.” She snarled at him, she didn’t care if the other students who were just making their way to their next class stop in their tracks and look at her a bit frighteningly. ”You know what they did to me after you reported to them? DO YOU?! They found new ways to torture me!!” Her face was a clear canvas to her anger at what had happened, it also showed the want and yearning to plunge her claws into his throat and end his life right then and there.

"You don't think I know that? My job was to open up your abilities to as far as I could and tell them what happened when I did! I was given no knowledge of what they were doing! When I found out what they were doing, I tried as hard as I could to get you out! They caught on all too quick and tried to detain me! Even after I escaped, I worked as hard as I could to get you out! By the time I got in.... you were gone." He was on the verge of actually crying.

"I grew close to you. Like the daughter I never had. After you were gone.... I was so worried that they pressed you harder than you could handle. You have no idea what it was like with the worry." A tear ran down the side of his face.

Faith was so willing to end his life right then and there, falling into an old habit really quickly. Her father had taught her better than this, hell she had taught herself better. Her breathing was heavy as the adrenaline pumped throughout her system, her jaw tightened close almost to the point of breaking anything that she could be griping between her teeth. All she heard from him so far was excuses, and they meant nothing to her. Her body paused only briefly when she noticed that he looked like he was about to actually cry.

”I grew close to you. Like the daughter I never had. After you were gone… I was so worried that they pressed you harder than you could handle. You have no idea what it was like with the worry.”

Now she was completely shocked at this. Did he just admit that he cared for her? Her breathing increased, and the lone single tear sliding down his face didn’t help matters either. Her nose flared with her breathing and before she knew what she was doing, she jerked to her feet and withdrew her claws. She faced her back to him, and her hands clenched into fists. ”What are you doing here, Adam?” Was all she could managed to ask after she literally made him cry. She didn’t feel the need to apologize to him, as the way she saw it, it was because of what he did was the reason she was continuously put through that horror.

Synchro didn't bother getting up yet. "Teaching." Was all he could say. He got up very slowly. "I found your file just before I applied to teach here." Synchro pulled a manilla file. "They injected your bones with adamantium alloy. That's one of the most gruesome things they recorded. Although when I read that you escaped, I figured you would take the path to lead you to your father. That I the main reason I applied here..... I wanted to make it up to you."

Faith snorted in disbelief at his intentions. She knew him from before, and like her own father she doesn’t easily forgive and forget. He caused her pain and misery, and that is enough reason not to trust him as far as she could throw him. Which was pretty damned far, but still he had proven shaky at best and she doesn’t do shaky. He then mentioned he had her file, and her eyes gotten wide as her head snapped around so fast it looked like it was going to fly off of her neck.

”I found your file just before I applied to teach here. They injected your bones with adamantium alloy. That's one of the most gruesome things they recorded. Although when I read that you escaped, I figured you would take the path to lead you to your father. That I the main reason I applied here..... I wanted to make it up to you."

She turned around to face him, her anger boiling just beneath the surface. Her hands clenched into fists, and her nose flared with each deep breath. Every word he said seemed to only make her more angry, and if her remembered anything about what she could do he had better remembered not to get her upset and angry. ”That is impossible. You must have a fake file on me. And I know what they did to me. I was there. It was the same thing they did to my father. As for making it up to me, just what do you plan on doing? Exploiting the other kids here, and reporting the results to who?” She accused him, not believing a word he said.

Synchro realized he probably deserved most of that. " I am here to help these kids, as well as you, to control their powers." He quickly taps her and steps back. He clenches his hand into a fist and claws exactly like Faith's slide out of his hand. " And help them see that they are not alone." He looks at the claws a minute and says, "I report to no one but Professor Xavier. I'm sure you can trust him, Correct? Oh, and the file is not fake. I got it from one of their computers."

Faith’s nostrils flared, as her anger inched closer to the surface. Being inside was not doing good for her, and the need to get outside was pressing in on her. She felt that if she didn’t get outside soon, then this place was going to closely resemble a war zone. And of course that is never a good thing. She was sure that if she did destroy the place, then the Professor wouldn’t think twice before kicking her to the curb. So she fought the need to stay calm and collected.

"I am here to help these kids, as well as you, to control their powers. And help them see that they are not alone. I report to no one but Professor Xavier. I'm sure you can trust him, Correct? Oh, and the file is not fake. I got it from one of their computers."

She glared at him with a look that basically told him to go to hell. ”These kids don’t need your kind of help. As I already have had it, so no thanks. And they know they aren’t alone if they are here. So why are you here, Adam? As for the Professor, I trust him only because he allows me to stay here. Even if my father had indeed disappeared. As for that file you have, do you really think Weapon X is stupid enough to keep copies of their experiment’s files on a computer where technopaths can easily access it? I don’t think so. There is defiantly something wrong with your copy.” She shot at him, still not believing a word he said.

"Fine." He withdraws the claws and flicks away the power. "But," He stepped closer. "I'm guessing that they have not helped you with anger. Probably alot of training? Correct?" He shakes his head. "They may tell you that this is what the real world is like. Not everyone lives like this. Training is for war. I understand that you have to be ready for anything. But, what about controlling it for when there is no war? Nothing you have to be ready for? How much of that have you been taught? By as much as you look like you want to be outside. I'm guessing not much. You can't just escape or build up the anger until it takes over. That is what I am here to teach." Synchro only stood there.

Faith just wanted away from him. He was the reason she was so agitated, and she knew that if she didn’t put distance between the two of them there would be dire consequences. She closed her eyes and briefly mediated like her father had taught her the first night she was at the school. She felt her anger melt away at the picture of his face, and when she knew she was calm she opened them. One could immediately tell the difference in her at just one look.

”Fine. But, I’m guessing that they have not helped you with anger. Probably alot of training? Correct? They may tell you that this is what the real world is like. Not everyone lives like this. Training is for war. I understand that you have to be ready for anything. But, what about controlling it for when there is no war? Nothing you have to be ready for? How much of that have you been taught? By as much as you look like you want to be outside. I'm guessing not much. You can't just escape or build up the anger until it takes over. That is what I am here to teach."

She shook her head. ”You are wrong, Adam. Sure they haven’t been teaching me to control my anger. But my father had been, before he left. And training isn’t just for war. What I’ve been trained to do for my entire life, was for war. They are training us to work together and protect people. And I want to be outside, away from you. There are also other reasons to train, Adam. And don’t you think I know I can’t run from my anger? I’ve tried. And you know what I found out when my anger gets the better of me? I go feral, berserk and no one can calm me from that state. So if you know what is good for you, I suggest you leave me alone. If I want to talk to you, I know where to find you. Or track you down.” She said and turned to leave.

As usual Logan had left the mutant mansion without much warning to anyone and had been gone for a rather long time. Still in search of a few more memories and visiting places of his past. With his leather coat on, Logan normally took Scott's bike as he loved the speed and loved to piss off Scott with it, this time he'd desided to take his own truck. It was an older 80's Chevy with blotchy black paint, as rust had chipped off a good amount of the paint. Rather loud with a dual exhaust and a six inch lift kit, in a way it fit the gruff man.

Pulling away from the last gas stop, he'd now have enough gas to reach the school turn around and reach the gas station before filling up again. Feelin a bit hungery he reached over and rummaged in the passenger seat for a pack of beef jerky, taking a bite of it he remembered the first time he'd picked up Rogue and let her sit up front. After being gone so long he now missed and appreciated having friends and family waiting for him at the school. Soon enough as he was lost in his thoughts he pulled up to the massive gates to the school.

Opening his window he reached down and punched in the code and the gates swung open in their slow majestic manor. Not so much for Logan, he revved his engine before moving forward on the driveway heading to the circle drive at the side of the huge building. He had to give a small smile at the old place, it was actually the one place he could still trust and be welcomed at no matter how much he disliked being bugged all the time by others. Parking his truck, he'd move it later to the garage, someone would probably nag him about it before he got around to it anyway.

Jumping out he grabbed a duffle bag from back of the truck, half a cigar lit hanging from side of his mouth as he walked to the school. Up same usual stairs he paused at the top to take another look at the place, remembering how crowded it would be inside with young mutants, his timing was bad at arriving in middle of the day as classes would be going on.

[lockdown302]

Synchro turned and left. He had nothing more to say. Even if he did, she would not listen to him. That much, he understood. So he left.

Faith watched as he turned around and left. She couldn’t be more happier at that moment. She didn’t want to see him, much less talk to him. The need to go outside and run herself into the ground returned ten-fold, so she walked purposely toward the front door. She swung it opened to only be face to face with her father. She sniffed the air to see if he was really there, and just to make sure this wasn’t some sick joke on someone else’s part. The cigar hanging out of the side of his mouth smelled real and cheap.

She was of course torn between hitting him or throwing her arms around him and not letting go for a long time. She knew that if the situation was in her court, and her kid hit her she wouldn’t appreciate it. So she gave into the other urge at seeing him. She rushed him, and wrapped her arms around him. She didn’t know how much she missed him until that very moment, and she just breathed in his scent. ”I’m glad you came back.” She simply told him.
